<p>mom2collegekids, thanks for the comments. The Bama scholarship stacking sounds excellent. My son has 3.6 GPA, Top 25%, URM. Need to take the ACT again this month but so far its looking that he should be +32. Hopfully he can win a few more scholarships based on this. </p>
<p>We have visited UTenn and Vanderbilt already. For UTenn we have the same feeling voiced around, kind of difficult to walk around and spread, not too inviting. The people at the COE were great with us. We live in Tn so UTenn will be less expensive by far. </p>
<p>My son loves the campus at Clemson, so based on your comments looks like he should like Bama and Auburn too.<br>
So far here are his preferences:
Top choices : Clemson, Vanderbilt
2nd Tier: Alabama, Auburn, Florida ( he qualifies for in state tuition)
3rd tier: South Carolina, Tennessee, GA Tech (campus not too appealing and hard to get scholarships)</p>
